Digital Archive (Work in Progress)

The Digital Archive is the result of our new Digital Legacy project where US VMYG supports its mission of preserving and digitizing the history of model yachting. We have collected books, magazines, catalogs, photographs, interesting correspondence and other historical documents, and plans. We are scanning this international collection and posting them on our website to make the content available for anyone and everyone to search and enjoy.

There are several thousand items scanned, and our collection is growing as people share items they have collected. If you would like to contribute to this legacy, please reach out to Chuck Lage at usvmygt@gmail.com. You may either donate your items or loan them to us to scan and we will return them to you. Before sending items, please contact Chuck to compare your items to what we have already collected.

Here are the major categories of the archive, please click on of these to see more detailed descriptions and links to the content. Full text search is available by typing keywords into the search box at the top of the right menu.
